Introduction

Railwayscenics are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website
visitors.

This policy applies where we are acting as a data controller with respect
to the personal data of our website visitors, where we determine the
purposes and means of the processing of that personal data.

We will ask you to consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the
terms of this policy when you first visit our website.

Our website incorporates privacy controls which affect how we will process
your personal data. By using the privacy controls, you can specify whether
you would like to receive direct marketing communications.

In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" refer to Railwayscenics.

Who is the data controller for this website?

The data controller for this website is Stephen Lane and he can be
contacted at our business address which can be found at the bottom of
every page on the website.

What Personal Information About Customers Does Railwayscenics Gather?

During the checkout process we ask for the minimum of information from you.
The information we obtain from our customers helps us personalize and
continually improve your shopping experience at Railwayscenics. Here
are the types of information we gather.

Information You Give Us:
The information which you provide via the Railwayscenics Online Store
will be processed by Railwayscenics in order to process your order.
You will be required to register as a customer on the Railwayscenics
Online Store which will include creating a user name and password and
providing contact details which include your first and last names, your
address and a contact phone number plus any other information required to
process your order. This information will also be used for accounting
and auditing purposes and to deal with any enquiries and complaints
that we may receive from you.

During the registration process, you will have the option to consent
to Railwayscenics using your personal data for marketing purposes. If
you decide to opt-in, you may change your mind at any time and opt-out
of receiving marketing communications from us by clicking the unsubscribe
link at the bottom of all newsletters.

You can also choose not to provide certain information, but then you might
not be able to take advantage of many of our websites features. If you contact
us by email or through a web page to request information, report a problem or
provide feedback on our services or products we will use the information you
provide to respond to your message, to address the issue you have raised, and to
make improvements to our services. We do not use this information for other
purposes.

Should you contact us using our online contact us form, we gather your email
address and the contents of the message. We only keep that information until
your question has been answered, or your query has been resolved. Copies
of all emails are then deleted..

How long do we keep your information

The information that we are given when you place an order is usually kept for 6 years
from the end of the financial year that you placed the order. This is done because we
need to keep tax records in accordance to any tax rules and regulations.

Any information you give us when making an enquiry about our products or services is
only kept as long as we need. Ideally once we have answered your query, we destroy or
delete any information you give us.

Personal Information Accuracy

The information we obtain from the website will be kept up to date. Should
we receive notice from you that some of your information has changed, we will
update our data in accordance to that given by you. It is also possible for you
to access all your account information and to update it yourself by
accessing your personal account.

Does Railwayscenics Share the Information It Receives?

We respect your privacy and appreciate your business. At no time do we ever provide
your account contact or payment information to any third party vendor, associate
or service provider unless absolutely necessary in order to complete your
transaction and order. Your payment card details are collected and held by our
secure payment service providers. Only the card type and last 4 digits of your
card number are shared with us for accounting and audit purposes.

We use two payment processors to take payments on the website. The first is PayPal.
You can review the PayPal privacy policy at
www.paypal.com.
We will share information with PayPal only to the extent
necessary for the purposes of processing payments you make via our website and
dealing with complaints and queries relating to such payments.

We also use a payment provider called Stripe. You can see the Stripe privacy
policy at www.stripe.com.
We will share information with Stripe only to the extent
necessary for the purposes of processing payments you make via our website and
dealing with complaints and queries relating to such payments.

We also share your contact information with our delivery partners, so that items
ordered can be delivered to you in a timely manner.

How Secure Is Information About Me?

Railwayscenics always use industry standard encryption technologies when
sending and receiving customer data exchanged with our site. We work to protect
the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you provide to us for
purchasing of our products or services.

Any passwords stored on the site are encrypted and even we cannot see what
you have entered. As with most other online stores, we do recommend that you do
not use the same password on multiple sites. You are responsible for
keeping your password confidential, and you agree not to share that password
with anyone else.

In the event of a data breach, we shall ensure that our obligations under applicable
data protection laws are complied with where necessary.

Which Information Can I Access?

Railwayscenics gives you access to a broad range of information about your account
and your interactions with us for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain
cases, updating that information. Whilst all the information that we hold on you
is accessible by you in your account area, you do have the right to see all the
information that we hold. This has been made possible within your account area,
where you can see, alter, update and download all the information that we hold.

If you have a concern about the way we are collecting or using your personal
data, we request that you raise your concern with us in the first instance.
Alternatively, you can contact the Information Commissioners Office at https://ico.org.uk/concerns/

How do we store and protect your personal information?

Railwayscenics are committed to protecting your personal information once we
have it. We implement physical, business and technical security measures to protect your
information. Out hosting service also has measures to stop information theft.

We also do not want to keep your personal information for any longer than we need it,
so we only keep it long enough to do what we collected it for. Once we do not need
it, we take steps to destroy it unless we are required by UK law to keep it longer.

However, no website or internet transmission is completely secure. We urge you to
take your own steps to keep your personal information safe, such as choosing a
strong password and keeping it private, as well as logging out of your user
account, and closing your web browser when finished using the Railwayscenics
website on a shared or unsecured device.
